Learn to love yourself! If you're not happy about something then fix it...just not with duct tape.

Actually #11, if you trying to fix how hairy you are duct would work.

18 that is absolutely true. I use it to keep my balls lookin smooth.

I don't think duct tape is strong enough to pull out short course hair. It would if you stuck it to your longer head hair. I can just imagine the sticky residue left from duct tape all over somebody's body lol.

If you can't fix it with sticky tape, it ain't fixable. (Guido Hatzis anyone?)

One could just excercise though, healthier and much better looking on the long run. I'll cheer for OP.

There's only one word needed to describe this.... DUMBASS.

why bother using stuff like cling film or duct tape at all? they're called Spanx! not only are they non sticky, they're actually designed to do the very job OP was trying to do!

This brings pain to my abdomen just reading it.

Damn you 24 you just made soda come out of my nose

if you can't fix it with duct tape, you aren't using enough duct tape

U. Xbox

But...but duct tape fixes EVERYTHING!!

Maybe OP has an illness that causes weight problems? Losing weight is not easy, and though I do not know OP's situation, I still do not suggest jumping to conclusions. And about the duct tape, maybe they were being bullied about their weight and OP simply did not know what to do?

Buying Spanx is another option. It's a bit expensive, but it makes more sense than freakin' duct tape.

20, aren't you a sweetie. Personally I do have a disease that makes me eat Krispy Kremes. To be fair you don't see any fatties in those African charity pics. (maybe KKs are in short supply.)

31, why would you see heavy people in African charity adverts for hunger..?

the point, my dear poopsi, is that they aren't fat because they DON'T EAT. Try it. [This nugget of wisdom was sponsored by Mr T Enterprises.]

So you are encouraging starving yourself, with or without an illness? That doesn't help weight, nor your health. I know many anorexic people, that is not the right way to do things. However I do enjoy the fact you just called me your "dear poopsie". C:

The number of health condition caused obesity is a rather low percentage of over all obesity. Unless you consider a crappy diet and lack of exercise health conditions. Losing weight isn't that hard. I pretty much halved myself in 2 years; and I actually have some of those health conditions allegedly keeping people from losing weight.. So stop making excuses.

Just because it was not too terribly hard for you does not mean it isn't for others. Congratulations on losing the weight, though!

Exactly! Plus out of those health conditions, most cause you to be overweight, NOT obese. I have thyroid issues and have always ALWAYS been overweight, but when I got to the "obese" category, it was not at all my thyroids fault. To lose weight, I have to work more than twice as hard as the average person, but I'm motivated enough to do it. I don't make excuses for my weight, "health issues" or not. Especially since a lot of those issues that cause weight gain had treatments, meaning the weight gain shouldn't be blamed on the issue.

Dear Poopsie, What a weird dream I had last night. Dreamt that a talking pile of shit commented on FML suggesting that since the hungry African children are skinny cause they don't eat, we should try starvation to lose weight. Thankfully its comments got buried and then I woke up. Love, Corpral Klinger

I'm sorry poopsi, I'm not entirely onside with "everybody is how they are" OP may either have a case of gaining some weight and is trying to hide it; or, over winter OP gained weight gradually and tried to fit into what she wore last summer. I believe the strongest case for losing weight is actually going out and exercising. how did biggest loser slim down most of their bigger competitors? If big people are MEANT to be that big, please explain the genetic advantage that would give us?

I really don't think OP should be focusing on losing weight right now, since it seems to be about looks/looking thin rather than actually being healthy. It seems right now that OP has confidence issues that should be looked at by a professional, or at least talked about with by a trusted adult.

@101: If you are using the Biggest Loser show as an example, I'd just like to point out that some people who won on the Biggest Loser are now back at their original weight.

Dear Poopsi, I hope you can help, I've got an angry band of fatties after me. Thankfully they can't run very fast but I'm pretty scared. How can I tell them : "sorry, I'm sure you're like that naturally, and I don't even SEE that bag of pretzels in your hand" ? (PS ever thought of an agony aunt column? Asking a pile of sh*t for advice on your own sh*t seems pretty good.)

109: So *some* of the contestants put the weight back on? There are likely tons of reasons this could have happened. The strongest point I'd like to make is that it is evident from the show that their weight had been lost due to exercise.

i'd like to add that from persinal experience those who abstain from food are thinner than those who dont. blame your thyroid all you want but physics has something called "conservation of mass" whereby if you dont e@t all the food, you dont put on all the weight.

Corporal*

I'm really sick of people people pulling out that crap excuse. In studies and surveys done it showed that less than 1% of obese people had a medical condition causing it. So dont use that stupid excuse, its not relevant at all. As for how hard it is to lose weight, burning more energy than you consume is NOT HARD. I saw some huge fat woman today in a food court, grazing away at McDonalds. Pathetic. I have sympathy for people who are battling unfortunate genetics that give them a slower metabolism. But if you're eating crap like that, you deserve every taunt you get.

3- agreed especially since we now have Spanx. They'll take inches off your waistline until you get yourself in shape.

Spanx are my best friend on a night out. they make me look awesome. until i try to pull them down to do a wee

Or eat better and become more active?

^OP's got bronchitis! Ain't nobody got time fo dat!

I like the corset idea. I've got a nice one I can sell you, OP. :)

If someone is the size of a cow then I'm afraid that philsophy kind of goes out the window, because know matter how many times you say that, people will stare in shock and ridicule behind backs

where's the fun in that?

Wo are you talking to #7?

He is just an ifunny user trying to get the same top comment as on one of the pictures on the app. Dumb.

It kinda sounds like OP has confidence issues, or possibly some kind of weight-related mental disorder(Not saying they definitely do, but it kinda sounds like it), and they might be trying to lose weight as fast as possible, even if it means not really losing weight and just covering it up. It kinda sounds like OP might need to talk to someone and try to figure out ways to be more confident before they should try losing weight for reasons that don't sound like they are about health. And, they could possibly have some kind of health issue that makes them have trouble losing weight or their metabolism could be strange or maybe they don't actually drink orange pop all the time and they just like it anyways so they made their username for fun?? Anyways thought, I'm kinda upset honestly that more people are worried about OP finding proper ways to hide their stomach or lose weight rather than trying to help OP be more accepting of themselves and have confidence.

Salads doesnt give you nutrients nor is it fattening. So thats just bad advice

OR, instead of being a dick, you can try being nice every once in a while.

Yeah, why take it off in the middle of history class?

I agree with the restroom part, but scissors would be useless. Even if you cut it, it's all stuck to your skin.

Yeah, history class though? If people see you taking it off doesn't it defeat the purpose of using it to appear thin?

I eventually did excuse myself to the restroom halfway through, where I could strip off the rest (the more painful parts) within the stall's confinement.

I really don't see why this FML was posted. Based on the photo, you don't even look fat. If anything you look pretty so yea...
